Muted "say" command & New version 942

[George Handley]

James, and all that helped,

It took all day but we found the problem that was causing the audio muting problem, and James, it had nothing to do with XTension. It was an omission of an a Arthur property on my part. All is well now on that front.

I do have a question about the new Find command in XTension's newest version. I must have missed it in your new version introduction, but it appears there is no longer  an important tool in the Find command in that you, can no longer find all instances of a phrase or command in ALL scripts at the same time? A nice thing is that you have added and “Find and Replace” for the script your in, but If I need to find all instances of the “Say” command throughout all my scripts, how is that now done?

Also, for some reason, in the Master List screen, you can no longer Control Click to get to the Scripts and Properties? You now have to use a command I on the until which takes you to the edit Unit dialog to get to On & Off scripts and properties?

I hope you can tell me it still lives, 0-erhaps with some special alternate keystroke, but I’ve already tried then obvious and can’t find it.

Does it still live?

Thanks,

George

If you hear sound then it’s not muted, if you don’t then it is ;) Sorry, it used to be accurate but in the latest OS versions here it’s returning muted a lot. At least until you prime the pump by manually muting and unmuting the sound once. After that it seems to start returning the correct information until the next time you restart the computer.

So now it’s adding to confusion instead of reducing it, thats quite frustrating ;)
